Life to Plants—Soft Water. 
HARD WATER is hurtful and destructive to Plant life in every vray. Instead 
of nourishing the roots it arrests growth, and often causes the foliage to lose its freshness 
and colour. Delicate Pot Plants, Shrubs, &c., are frequently spoiled simply from the use 
of Hard Water. 
SOFT WATER is the natural sustenance of flowers, plants, &c., and for the 
proper cultivation of Orchids,; Perns, &c., Soft Water is an absolute necessity, its use 
also greatly assists the growth of fine Vegetables. 
MAICNEN’S 
PATENT 
ANTICALCAIRE 
POWDER 
EFFECTUALLY softens the hardest water AT SMALL COS'. 
NURSERYMEN and GARDENERS will also find it a great saving to soften 
the water with “ Anti-Calcaire ” before it enters the Boiler, as it effects a great economy 
of fuel, entirely prevents the incrustation of Boilers and Pipes, prevents explosions and 
premature ‘cracking,’ and avoids the troublesome labour of cleaning out the boilers. 
Maignen s Patent Automatic W ater Softening Apparatus can he fixed to existing 
Cisterns, and be made available for softening the whole of the water in Gentlemen’s 
Mansions, Institutions, Large Nurseries, Laundries, &c. 
MAtGNEN'S " ANTI-CALCAIRE” is supplied in Tins 2d., 6d.. 2s., 3 6d., and 7s. each. A 6d. Tin 
softens 300 gallons of water, Also in Cashs, by the Ctut. or Ton, at reduced prices. A sample Tin 
and the Pamphlet " Water, Preventable Disease and Filtrationsent to any address for five stamps.
